Bulgarian authorities are analysing DNA, fingerprints and the Michegan drivers licence used by the man who blew up a bus full of Israeli tourists in an effort to identify him, the Associated Press reports.

Moshe Museri, who was lightly injured in the blast and was wearing bandages on his hand and leg when he arrived back in Tel Aviv, said:

What do I remember from the moment of the explosion? Bodies on the ground, severed hands and legs.

Shalom recalled the moment he jumped from the stricken bus:

We saw all the people running to the front of the bus, and we jumped from the window. Unfortunately there were three bodies lying there when we jumped. And everyone who managed to jump from this bus (was)saved, all the others were all dead or wounded.

The Israeli prime minister's spokesman has tweeted that Barack Obama has called Benjamin Netanyahu about the attack on a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria that killed eight people and wounded dozens:

A suicide bomber carried out the attack that killed eight people and injured dozens in a bus transporting Israeli tourists at Burgas Airport in Bulgaria, a Bulgarian government official has said today.

We have established a person who was a suicide bomber in this attack. This person had a fake driving licence from the United States.

The deadly blast, which occurred shortly before 5:30pm yesterday, provoked international condemnation.
